Ah, thanks for the explanation.

Daniel; I think he was mesmerized by your Nikon camera.
Great detail.

Very nice work, interesting looking bird, I don't think we have those here in Ky. I agree, the first one in my favorite.

These are beautiful birds and they don't appear too afraid of you. We only have Bobwhite Quail here in Ky.and no way you get this close. Well done!

Bob,

I have tried to comment on your Phoebe image but for some reason I keep getting an error message so I will post without a quote.

The bird is on the borderline of being too sharp. I like your BG work but you need to clean up the area between the feet and the little speck of green foilage by the head.

Overall you did well with PP. Looks like it's time for you to give up LR:rolleyes:
